NHS are making the right noises but the plans "are currently under public consultation".

I read this today too about what a Sunak government would look like. Obviously most points are not great but I like the one about schools! I'm looking forward to hearing more about what they are going to do.

The plans, which are currently under public consultation, are for an interim service for young people with gender dysphoria whilst <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/KKqzX/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/03/10/doctors-treating-gender-dysphoria-feel-pressured-adopt-unquestioning/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr Hilary Cass continues her revieww^ into the treatment offered by the NHS.
They note that there is a need to change the services because there is currently “scarce and inconclusive evidence to support clinical decision-making”.

Not quoting the whole article. I'm sure there an archived version somewhere.
